Old Nun's Head

[lane lover]

The Great Exhibition

House of Tippler

I hear The Patch is good too (but have only had dinner there myself)

[MrBen]

Lane Lover has that about spot on. HoT had a blinding roast a while back...The Patch has an excellent one too and is on form.

[Knomester]

The Bear in Camberwell. We were there again last Sunday and it was excellent as always.

Agreed. Best I've had round here.

Well worth the walk!

ETA: It's a lovely old pub too, right on the green, though very very busy on Sundays because of the roasts, I think you may have to book.

The Crooked Well in Camberwell is my #1, The Palmerston my #2, Franklin's #3. The Patch is getting good reviews for its roasts.

The Crooked Well is the best place to eat in the area, bar none. The Camberwell Arms will give them a run for their money.

Victoria Inn roast is decent too.

[edcam]

Can't wait for The Camberwell Arms!

[LouiseC]

Spot on Edcam, my ratings exactly in that order.

[Jack.asiliman]

Think, i will try the crooked well this time!

Bear Freehouse, Camberwell.

Observer newspaper "best sunday roast" award.

Best food on any day I'd say!

I hear The Rose do a very good roast.

[TheGreatExhibition]

We love Sunday Roasts at the great exhibition.

Here is our menu this week, the mains change each week

We serve a Yorkshire pudding with every roast and unlimited veg and gravy. If you run out, simply ask for more... Just like at home!

To top it off we have Sunday papers for you to help yourself to

And live vintage jazz every week between 2-4pm

The band are always different so expect anything from New Orleans, count Basie, Django Reindhart, Duke Ellington and more

Also, we serve our roasts all the way through to 8pm meaning if you have a busy Sunday afternoon, you don't have to miss out on a good family roast.

Well we tried The Patch. Nice food but not as good as The Crooked Well, Palmerston or Franklin's and more expensive than all of them. Wish them well but feel they should be providing something more special as a roast for ?16.50. And ?3.50 for 3 small rolls? That's daft. Atmosphere and decor a bit soulless too - they could do with someone coming in with an eye for design.

Try Dartmouth Arms, Forest Hill-v.good

[DavidPeckham]

I am a big fan of the Crooked Well, and a regular since day one, and think the Patch has been really great so far, and have a long relationship with the Nuns Head on a Sunday, but for overall points from music to service, to excellent roasts and general feel, having taken babies, friends, parents and distant relatives, I'd give it to the Great Exhibition, hands down.

Don't go Allaynes head on a Sunday the ALWAYS run out of the good meat.

You should try the curry buffet on Sunday - It's ?10 including a large drink and you can eat as much yummy curry as you want!

There are about 3/4 curry houses on Lordship Lane that does it on a Sunday and there open til late!

IF you dont fancy a roast

However the Commercial in Herne Hill do a wicked roast and there is a market outside as well which is nice to walk round while you?re there.

The Palmerston is my favorite for Sunday Lunches followed by the Great Exhibition.

[jwall]

Nuns Head is the best around!

Bumping up this thread for info.

No ED but I had a very nice roast at the Sylvain Post in Forest Hill yesterday...?12 for beef or belly pork and a tad cheaper for beer marinated chicken. They also had a veggie option but my veggie friend was given a meat free regular roast for a fiver. I'd book in future though, the vintage school table in the backroom was quirky but fairly uncomfortable!

[Mark.P]

The Palmerston does great food, quite expensive though. I had a great roast at the Herne, surprisingly.

[Seabag]

Camberwell Arms

Hands down for Sunday lunch. Great quality, with good portions

Only down side is you can't book

[sonla]

WE had a great sunday lunch yesterday at the Old Nuns Head!!Even gave me a "doggie" bag for the cats!
